#444 Tested by the Word of God Psalm 105:19
“His feet they hurt with fetters; he was laid in chains of iron:
Until the time that his word came to pass; the word of the LORD tried him.” Psalm 105:18-19 ERV
Our Lord Jesus, the Greater than Joseph was also tested by the Word of God.
He also was falsely accused and persecuted. “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles to mock and scourge and crucify him, and on the third day he will be raised up.” Matthew 20:18-19
And until the fulfillment of the Word of Promise came to pass, he was refined and tested by that Word. “The Lord GOD has opened my ear; and I was not disobedient, nor did I turn back. I gave my back to those who strike me, and my cheeks to those who pluck out the beard; I did not cover my face from humiliation and spitting.” Isaiah 50:5-6
The Word of the LORD will refine us also.
The refining takes place as we deal with the Appearance of Circumstance versus the Reality of God.
When we are faced with what seems impossible odds , will we still trust in His Word?
When we are faced with apparent contradiction to what He has promised will we still trust in the power of His deliverance?
Will we cling to the hope of what He has promised while in the midst of the shackles and irons of life, the refining fires that work through pain and limitation?
“…fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:3
Let us hold on firmly to His Word which clearly reflects the commitment of God for our highest good and blessing.
Let not any circumstance cloud the truth of His Word and His depth of commitment to His children. “Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the LORD tested Joseph's character.” NLT In the end the Word of the One who keeps His Promises will come to pass, and we, as Joseph and the Greater than Joseph, will be used to bless Israel and all the families of the earth. Psalm 105:20-22
Will we trust His Word or our perception?
